With dimmed lights, Denny Brewer’s voice resonated throughout the hall, you could feel that tonight was going to be amazing. Then appeared the band, surrounded by an impressive light show, that gave the effect of something very spiritual. Oberst appears to have grown up a lot in the past few years and this can be seen in his performance tonight, as he seems to genuinely enjoy himself as he runs, twists and turns on the stage as opposed to incoherent rants                                                                        and falling off the stage.

Tonight the songs sounded far better than the albums, partly due to the band itself and partly due to the excellent acoustics within the Royal Albert Hall. Lasting over two hours, the set list too seems very well planned, blending old and new giving the fans exactly what they want.

But the highlight has to be the final two songs: Road to Joy and One For You, One For Me. With Road to Joy exciting the crowd whilst one for you left the them in awe, as he touched and hugged them. After leaving the stage, Denny Brewer’s voice once again made an appearance, whilst everyone in the sold out hall stood for an ovation. A once in a lifetime concert that surpassed expectations.
